SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 730,300, dated June9,1903.

Application filed August 2'7, 1901. Serial No. 73,438. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNEST WYMAN SAVORY, fine-art publisher, of t RodneyPlace,Clifton, Bristol, in the county of Gloucester, England, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Tablesfor Relief-.

Stamping Presses and Like Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to tables for relief- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of the lower part of a relief-stamping machine,showing myinvention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1, showing guides inposition. Fig. 3 is Fig. 4; is an elevation of one guide, and Fig. 5 isa plan of Fig. 4.

1 and 2 are respectively the upper and lower stamping-dies, andA is theframe of the machine.

To carry out this invention as applied to a relief-stamping machine, thesupport A for the table may be cast on the machine-frame A or may bebolted thereto, as may be convenient. The table is formed in three partsB O D. The part B is adapted to slide vertically on the support A bymeans of slides B and is adjusted by means of hand-wheel and screw B Thepart 0 has a sliding motion on B by means of a sliding connector C({andthe part D by a sliding connector D is adapted to slide upon the part 0in a direction at right angles to the motion of said part 0. By thisarrangement the table can be adjusted in three directions, the parts B,O, and D being moved in regard to one another by hand or through themedium of adjusting-screws or otherwise, as convenient, andclamping-screws, such as shown at c 61 may be provided for locking theparts in position. As it is desirable to regulate the position of thecard independently of the table, I provide a set of guides E, as shownin Fig. 2. The said guides can be adjusted to any desired'angle orposition on the table by means of slots E and screws E entering holesein the plate D, Fig. 2, and in order that the point E of the guides maymake a close contact with the table, and so prevent the card or paperfrom passing under them, a part of the under surface of the guides isremoved or cut away from the point E for a suitable distance rearward,as at 6 Figs. 4 and 5.

It will be seen that inadj usting the machine to work upon, say, cardsof a particular size or shape, a card is placed in the machine betweenthe dies and its'edges are engaged on two sides by the guides E E,sothat by adj usting the position of said guides or the slides Cor D thehorizontal position'of the work in regard to the die is altered, whilevertical adjustment to bring the part D in proper horizontal relationwiththe die 2 is effected by raising or lowering the slide B and tablethrough the medium of hand-wheel B Thus the position the work willoccupy can be adj usted to a nicety and the table and guides thensecured for subsequent stamping in identical position.

, A portion of the supporting-table projects beyond the die and can hetraveled into that position when the dies are in contact with eachother. By this arrangement the table and stops can be readily andaccurately set V in their required relative positions. The position'ofthe stops and dies is such that the material to be stamped can bereadily placed in position and withdrawnwithout risk of disturbing theposition of the parts, and such withdrawal may be in line with either ofthe horizontal motions. The gap in the table facilitates the materialbeing placed in position and withdrawn.

7 What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A relief-stamping press comprising upper and lower stamping-dies anda supporting part adjustable in two horizontal directions, a gap in saidsupporting part whereby a portion of the supporting part may be traveledbeyond the dies in two directions corresponding with the directions ofmotion.

2. A relief-stamping press comprising upper and lower stamping-dies anda supporting part horizontally and vertically adjustable, a gap in saidsupporting part whereby a portion of the supporting part may be traveled horizontally beyond the dies in two directions corresponding withthe horizontal motion.

3. A relief-stamping press comprising upper andlower stamping-dies, atable adapted to be traveled in a horizontal plane in two directions atright angles to one another, means for traveling said table in saiddirections, a gap in said table whereby a portion of the table may betraveled beyond the dies in two directions corresponding with thehorizontal motion.

4. A relief-stamping press comprising upper and lower stamping-dies, atable adapted to be traveled in a horizontal plane in two directions atright angles to one another, means for traveling said table in saiddirections, a gap in said table whereby a portion of the table may betraveled beyond the dies in two directions corresponding with thehorizontal motion, and stops disposed on that part of the table which isadjacent to the dies when a portion of the table is disposed beyond thedies.

5. A relief-stamping press comprising upper and lower stamping-dies, atable adapted to be traveled in a horizontal plane in two directions atright angles to one another, means for traveling said table in saiddirections, a gap in said table whereby a portion of the table may betraveled beyond the dies in two directions corresponding with thehorizontal motion, and stops disposed on that part of the table which isadjacent to the dies
